When building a long script in editor mode, the user will probably evaluate the wip script a lot, cluttering the console output along the way.
We could only show the first N characters of a console command in the console output, with the ability to expand it if needed.

Thanks Samarjeet, the bug is now yours :)
Don't hesitate to ask any question you have!
Till where should I display the code. There are two choices:
- Up till the first new line
- Up till some n characters. In this case, what should be n?
Also, does there an existing control available to expand blocks of text in the devtools codebase?

The first line is probably the most manageable heuristic (I could also see us trying out -webkit-line-clamp, in case want multiple lines).
The twisty for expand/collapse in stacks and trees could be used here. Inspector uses twisties and a ... button inside an element. I am not aware of any "truncated text" UX in other places.
